The Astley Challenge, or, My Work Cut Out For Me

Yesterday, I issued what I affectionately referred to as "The Astley Challenge," encouraging readers to post their review of everyone's favorite video. Here's a reminder.



Ah yes, the elusive Rick Roll. The catch? You have to watch the ENTIRE thing.

Anyhow, as a reward to those heroes who trudged through all 3.5 minutes of the greatest video ever (and posted their review of it), they got to choose what I'll talk about in the future of BTVG regarding video games. And now I have my work cut out for me. Thus, here are the assignments I have ahead of me.

For Tyler - A review of the Atari classic "Custer's Revenge"
For J.D. - A review of "Call of Duty 4."
For dad - A review of the classic "Dig Dug."
For Alex - A review of the upcoming PC game "Spore," although I might have to compromise with a preview.

If anybody else wants to see me review a game of their choosing, talk about an upcoming game, or discuss/review any other aspect of gamer culture, they should step up to the plate for THE ASTLEY CHALLENGE!
